Politics / Re: Scientifically Documented CNG Vehicle Accidents- Pictures by obua: 8:47pm On Oct 17
Kewtt:
Abstract The use natural gas in transportation is well established globally with over 18 million natural gas vehicles (NGVs) distributed through more than 90 countries of the world. This paper discusses several safety issues involved
with using natural gas as a transportation fuel.

After introducing the NGVs safety aspects and reviewing various standards for compressed natural gas (CNG) system, the paper discusses the 55 CNG-related accidents in Pakistan (which conduced to over 250 casualties) and analyzes the causes for these accidents and extracts “lessons to be learned” for CNG. The analysis reveals that due to low-quality CNG system material, e.g., CNG cylinder, CNG design and installation, maintenance system, etc., lack of strict government CNG vehicle safety regulations and driver negligence every
year several CNG vehicles’ accidents took place in Pakistan which showed a major threat to life in Pakistan.
EXPLAINER: ABOUT CNG VEHICLES AND EXPLOSION : FACTS & MYTHS

CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) vehicles are a type of alternative fuel vehicle that use compressed natural gas instead of traditional petrol or diesel. CNG is primarily composed of methane and is stored in a compressed state in the vehicle. These vehicles are part of a broader shift toward cleaner and more sustainable transportation solutions due to their environmental and economic benefits.

1. How CNG Vehicles Work

CNG vehicles run on natural gas that is compressed to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure. This allows the gas to be stored in high-pressure tanks in the vehicle.The CNG is stored in tanks, usually mounted in the trunk or under the vehicle, and is fed into the engine where it combusts similarly to gasoline.

2. Advantages of CNG Vehicles

a. Environmental Benefits: Lower Emissions: CNG vehicles produce fewer harmful emissions compared to gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles emitting 25-30% less carbon dioxide (CO2) and significantly lower levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to smog and air pollution.

b. Economic Benefits: Cheaper Fuel: CNG is often cheaper than gasoline and diesel. In many countries, the price per gallon equivalent of CNG is lower than traditional fuels. Fuel Stability: Natural gas prices tend to be more stable compared to the fluctuating prices of oil and gasoline.

c. Reduced Maintenance Costs: Less Wear and Tear: Since CNG combustion is cleaner, there is less residue buildup on the engine and vehicle components. This results in lower maintenance costs and longer intervals between oil changes.

d. Abundant Fuel Supply: Domestic Resource: CNG is derived from natural gas, which is abundant in many parts of the world. Countries with large natural gas reserves can reduce dependence on imported oil, enhancing energy security.

3. Challenges and Disadvantages of CNG Vehicles

a. Limited Refueling Infrastructure: Refueling Stations: The availability of CNG refueling stations is limited compared to petrol or diesel stations. This can make it difficult for CNG vehicle owners to refuel in certain regions.

b. Lower Energy Density : Range Limitations: CNG has a lower energy density compared to gasoline or diesel, which means vehicles running on CNG typically have a shorter driving range. However, this can be mitigated by bi-fuel systems.

c. Tank Size and Space : Storage Space: CNG is stored in high-pressure tanks that take up more space compared to a traditional fuel tank. This often reduces trunk or cargo space in passenger vehicles.

d. Higher Upfront Costs: Vehicle Conversion: Converting a gasoline or diesel vehicle to run on CNG can be expensive, and dedicated CNG vehicles typically have a higher initial cost due to the specialized components and tanks.

Misconceptions about Explosions

There is a common misconception that CNG tanks are prone to explosions, but in reality, CNG vehicles are designed to prevent such scenarios:

Increased Safety Measures: In a typical gasoline vehicle, a ruptured fuel tank can result in a large spill of flammable liquid, which may ignite. In contrast, CNG quickly dissipates into the air, significantly lowering the chances of fire or explosion.
Controlled Release of Gas: CNG systems are engineered with built-in safety features to handle leaks and pressure surges safely, reducing the risk of explosions to a minimum.
How Safe Are CNG Vehicles?

CNG vehicles are generally very safe and, in some respects, safer than traditional petrol or diesel vehicles due to:

High ignition temperature
Lighter-than-air gas that dissipates quickly
Strong, crash-tested fuel tanks
Comprehensive safety features like leak detection and pressure relief systems
Regular inspections and proper maintenance are crucial to ensure that CNG vehicles remain safe over time. With strict regulatory standards and safety protocols in place, CNG vehicles offer a viable and safe alternative to conventional fuel vehicles for both individual drivers and fleet operators.

CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) vehicles have been recognized for their environmental and economic benefits, but like any fuel system, there are safety concerns that need to be addressed. Here's an overview of the primary safety concerns related to CNG vehicles and how they are managed:

1. High-Pressure Storage

CNG is stored at very high pressures (up to 3,600 psi or 248 bar), which raises concerns about potential tank ruptures or leaks. However, while I do not know the requirements in Nigeria, CNG vehicles (in many other countries) are designed with stringent safety standards to mitigate these risks.

Tank Strength: CNG tanks (in many other countries) are made of tough materials, often high-strength steel or carbon fiber, designed to withstand extreme pressures.
Pressure Relief Devices (PRDs): (in many other countries) These devices are installed to safely release gas if the pressure inside the tank becomes too high due to heat or other factors, preventing explosions.
2. Gas Leaks

One of the concerns with CNG is the risk of gas leaks. Natural gas is lighter than air, so it dissipates quickly, reducing the risk of accumulation in enclosed spaces (which could lead to fire or explosion). However, gas leaks still pose a hazard.

Methane Detectors: CNG vehicles (in many other countries) are equipped with methane detectors that sense leaks and trigger alarms if gas levels exceed safety limits.
Odorization: Although natural gas is odorless, an odorant (usually mercaptan) is added to CNG, making leaks easier to detect.
3. Fire Risks

In the event of a fire, the high-pressure storage of CNG poses an additional risk. However, CNG tanks (in many other countries) are designed to withstand extreme heat, and the release of gas from pressure relief devices typically prevents explosions.

Fire-Resistant Tanks: CNG tanks (in many other countries) are subjected to fire resistance tests to ensure they can withstand flames for a significant period.
Built-In Safety Measures: If a CNG vehicle is involved in an accident, the system shuts down the flow of gas to prevent it from fueling a fire.
4. Tank Damage or Rupture

Damage to the CNG tank, either through impact or wear and tear, can lead to ruptures. However, CNG tanks are designed and tested to withstand significant impacts, and they undergo regular inspections.

Regular Inspections: CNG tanks must be inspected periodically to check for wear, damage, or corrosion.
Impact Resistance: CNG tanks (in many other countries) are built to withstand high-impact forces, reducing the risk of rupture in the event of a collision.
5. Proper Maintenance and Handling

Proper maintenance (in many other countries) is critical to ensuring the safety of CNG vehicles. Inadequate inspections, improper filling procedures, or substandard installations can lead to safety issues.

Certified Installations: (in many other countries) CNG systems should only be installed by certified professionals to ensure safety.
Regular Maintenance: (in many other countries) CNG vehicles require regular maintenance and inspections, especially the tank, valves, and lines.
6. Safety Standards

CNG vehicles are subject to stringent safety standards worldwide, with protocols for design, testing, and operation. Some common safety standards include:

NGV2: A standard for CNG vehicle fuel systems in the U.S.
ECE R110: A European regulation governing the components used in CNG vehicles.
Nigeria: I don’t know what the standard is.
Conclusion

While CNG vehicles have specific safety concerns related to high-pressure storage and potential gas leaks, they are designed with robust safety features to mitigate these risks. Regular inspections, the use of advanced materials, pressure relief devices, and proper maintenance all contribute to making CNG vehicles a safe option for drivers and passengers.

Please note, throughout this post , I interspersed it with the conditional phrase (in many other countries). E get why. The problem is, in Nigeria, the regulatory agencies could be bribed to look the other way, or someone with connections but no knowledge could be appointed to head the regulatory agency . And Nigerians are prone to cutting corners. Already The Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI), in a statement issued today titled, “Safety Incident at NIPCO Benin City”, said the explosion was caused by AN ILLEGALLY MODIFIED AND WELDED CYLINDER WHICH IS NOT APPROVED AND FIT FOR CNG USE.”

Nonybb:
When I see Nigerians eulogize Dangote and hail him for building on local content, I just laughed at the level this Fulani con man has deceived so many Nigerians. Remember when he started his cement production and the normal cliché then was the affordability of price of cement. Today, cement has gone to the roof top despite Nigeria's local capacity of that products. Today, this evil genius wants to monopolize the oil downstream sector and corner the supply chain of the crude oil by playing politics and demanding that IOCs plays to his rhythm so that he will control the price indices, thus, monopoly of supply. The evil we are fighting is Dangote, not IOCs. Even before he comes fully on stream, Nigerians are already feeling the heat of this Fulani evil manipulator. I tell you, Nigerians will pay with their teeth if Dangote succeed in his control because his monopoly of cement industry is not a palatable one
There are 4 other cement manufacturers and 2 were in busines, way before Dangote cement

Politics / Re: Presidential Elections 2023: Nigeria Will Have Three 3 Presidents by obua: 12:23pm On May 15, 2023
keymatt:
Jesus Christ GOD Almighty is going to perform a wonder in Nigeria. God will disgrace corrupt politicians and the criminal political structure in the country and pave way for new order in Nigeria.
Number THREE (3) is prophetic in God's work. Jesus Christ raised from the dead after 3 days to put and end to the old order of death and ushered humanity a new order of salvation and everlasting life through Christ. God used the prophetic symbol of the Trinity - GOD THE FATHER - GOD THE WORD/SON - GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT to save mankind from condemnation and death. The same thing is going to happen in Nigeria.

God has heard the cries of his people in Nigeria and he's going to reveal his power in Nigeria's political system.
INEC's deceleration of Bola Tinubu as President elect was allowed by God to fulfill the prophetic mystery. Tinubu was announced president elect on 1st of March 2023. March is the 3rd month of the year and 1st of March is the 3rd day of the week. Tinubu by this order of 3 in the realm of spirit is the first president. Though Tinubu was declared winner by INEC, he is not the winner before the Supreme Judge Jehovah. To further the prophetic mystery of the Trinity, Bola Tinubu will reign as President elect for 3 months.

After 3 months in may 29th, another man will take over power. President Buhari will not hand over to Peter Obi and neither will he hand over to Bola Tinubu. President Buhari will hand over to an interim govt under the leadership of Prof Yemi Osinbajo.
Osinbajo will take over power on May 29th and will reign for a period of 3 months (- Trinity) from 29th May to August. After reigning for 3 months, Osinbajo will do a noble thing. He'll demand for the real presidential election results. From the authentic presidential results it will be discovered that Bola Ahmed Tinubu of APC actually came 3rd. Atiku Abubakar of PDP came 2nd. And Peter Obi of Labour whom INEC claimed came 3rd actually came 1st. By the word of GOD himself and the mystery of Trinity 3, God will wipe away Nigeria's corrupt political order. Number 1 (corrupt political order) will become number 3 and number 3 will become number 1.
By the power of God Almighty number 1 will be crown president. In effect, Yemi Osinbajo, the interim president will hand over to Peter Obi in September 2023 as Nigeria's rightfully elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 2023. This mighty feat will not be achieved by Obidients. Neither will it be achieved by Peter Obi himself. It will be achieved by the Spirit of GOD.

CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS IN NIGERIA.
1. Bola Tinubu announced President 1st of March 2023 by INEC is the FIRST President. Tinubu will reign as president elect for 3 months. He will never be sworn in on May 29th.

2. Yemi Osinbajo will become interim president on May 29th. He will rule for a period of 3 months. Osinbajo is the 2nd president.

3. The 3rd President will be the person of Peter Obi. He'll take over power in September 2023 to usher in a new Nigeria.

Heaven and earth will pass away but the word of God shall never pass away. God Almighty will do away with the structure of Criminality in Nigeria and pave way for the NEW NIGERIA.
